To Organized Houses
On Campus.
"Know Nebraska Song Week"
will be held on the university cam
pus all during this week in pre
paration for the Ames game Sat
urday, October 8.
The object of this week which
is being sponsored by the Inno
cents society, with the assistance
of the Corn Cobs and the Tassels,
is to make sure every student who
is attending the university, by the
end of the week, knows the Hus
ker songs.
Three songs have been mimeo
graphed and sixty copies will be
given to each of the organized
houses, where the members will
learn the songs and sing them at
dinner and other opportune times.
A copy of these songs will ap
pear in the Daily Nebraskan in a
later issue. "Fight Husker var
sity,' 'Fight Fight Fight' and the
Cornhusker are the names of the
songs.
"These songs which are all orig
inal, having been written by uni
versity students." said William S.
Devereaux, chairman of the rally
committee of the Innocents so
ciety, "portray the well known
spirit which is so prevalent thru
out the middlewest, and by the
end of the week, if the student
body will co-operate, every one of
the students will know the varsity
songs. It is my sincere hope that
the Greek letter houses will re
quire their members to learn the
songs."
He stated that it was the plan
to sing these songs frequently at
the varsity games and at rallies.
"The 'Cornhusker' is our 'alma
mater' song and should be our
most prominent song. In the past
years, and even now, very few
members of the student body knew
the 'Cornhusker' but if everyone
will co-operate in putting over the
song week, it will be a proud
accomplishment."
Other plans are being formu
lated in connection with the
"Know Nebraska Song Week
and will be in the following issues
of the Daily Nebraskan.

DICK MORAN, Editor.'
University Players Win Professional
Rank and Right to Present New Plays
After First Broadway Presentation
A telegram from the Incorporator! Society of Author's
Representatives, last week notified the University Players,
eampus dramatic organization, of its reception into professional
standing.
Before this time, the University Players have been unable
1o secure purely professional plays, such ns those newlv released
from long showings on Broadway o-
ana otner large theatre circuits.
Now that they have been given
professional rating, the Players
will receive all new plays as soon
as they have completed their orig
inal run.
"Most university dramatic or
ganizations have amateur stand
ing," explained Miss H. Alice
Howell, director of the university
dramatic department, "and be
cause of this standing are unable
to secure tbe newest and best
plays. Rather, they perform the
operation of trying out newly writ
ten plays, plays that have to be
tested, rewritten, and revised be
fore they can be assured of suc
cessful production."
"Now that wc are professional,
wt can assure our clientele that
they will see only the best plays of
i-ue season, pmys aireci from suc
cessful runs on New York stages,"
Miss Howell continued. "No doubt
our notification of professional
standing was largely due to our
policy of having famous guest
artists play the leads in our major
dramas."
Professional standing does not
excluue the University Players
from trying out new plays before
they appear in New York. Last
me oi uuiu tneaier was or
ganized to take care of such ex
perimental dramatic work. Stu
dents are used entirely for the cast
in such productions, and the work
is supervised and criticized by
members of the dramatic department.

More than one thousand per
sons danced to the music of Deb
Lyons orchestra at the university
coliseum Saturday night in the
second All-University party of the
year.
The coliseum was specially dec
orated for the occasion with
orange and black streamers alter
nating from each end of the build
ing. The orchestra was located on
the stage which had been reduced
in size to better accommodate it.
Blue and silver settings formed the
background for the orchestra.
Shortly after 10 o clock Wally
Marrow's vaudeville troupe took
over the program and presented
ten acts of vaudeville, with Wally
Marrow acting as master of cere
monies. During the slight inter
mission before the acts, Ray Ram
say entertained the crowd with a
few remarks and introduced the
vaudeville.
After the stage show a thousand
colored balloons were released
from the ceiling and were caught
by the dancers. The air was soon
filled by confetti and serpentine.
A new idea in university parties
was innovated by Ray Ramsay.
He acted as a host to the dancers,
iiitiuUucing sti angers and helping
they become acquainted xo pre
vent the formation of the cus
tomarv stag lines.
Chaperones for the party were
Dean nr.1 Mrs. T. J. Thompson and
Mr. and Mrs. Rav Ramsay.
Jack Coupland indicated that he
was pleased with the success of
the party, saying, "We are pleased
with the way the crowd received
the entertainment and hope to give
them a program as good or better
next time. c teel inai me sne
cess of the party rests largely in
the quality of entertainment. This
year it is possible to get the best."
The Tnter-Fraternity council will
be asked to support the movement
to reinstate varsity ba.scbnll into
the athletic program at the Uni
versity of Nebraska when they
hold their next regular mectinc.
according to an announcement
made today by P. V. Meredith,
instigator of the plan. Elton Ross,
Farm House and member nf the
council, will present the plan to
the organization.
Meredith and his co-workers
decided late this week upon the
plan of getting the inter-fraternity
council behind the proposition.
They will be asked to help circu
late petitions among all fraternity
houses and to help in other ways
to help make the plan successful.
Student opinion on both cam
puses favors the return of base
ball to the varsity program and it
is considered probable that the
council will adopt a plan favorable.
Most fraternity men have already
given their approval to the plan.
Students Assist.
Many of the petitions are al
ready in the hands of the houses.
Four students have been assisting
Meredith in a large measure. Thy
include Keith Vogt. Sigma Phi
Epsilon; Frank Mueller, Delta
Sigma Thi; Tom Snipes, Alpha
Gamma Rho; and Fred Oetgen.
Phi Kappa Psi. The latter lettered
in baseball the last year it was
included in the athletic program

Hart Jenks. New
will play the lead part of Hannibal
in the University Players first
production. "Tbe Road to Home,"
presented for the week of Octo
ber 24.
He was the "Othello" of last
year, the play that was acclaimed
by the best of the Shakespeare
authorities in Lincoln. Mr. Jenks
is a former Omahan. who entered
the university and gained prestige
m the dramatic department and in
j the Players. Later, he became a
mrmber of the departmental lac
ulty, but finally departed for the
east where he gained highly cred
itable notice from the metropolitan
critics. Five years ago, he re
turned to Lincoln to play the lead
in "Caponsacchi," taken from
Browning's "The Ring and the
Book." Three years ago, he was
"Hamlet." Last year he came to
the campus as "Othello." This
year he comes again as "Hanni
bal" in "The Road to Rome."
Mr. Jenks has appeared in four
teen different Shakespearean pro
ductions in the east since his ab
sence from Nebraska. While he
doesn't claim that he would be a
highly dexterous Ophelia. Mr.
Jenks could be the remainder of ,
the cast without undue strain. He
has appeared as Hamlet, the
ghost of the murdered king,
Claudius, Rosenkrantz, Fortinbras,
Horatio, and has understudied
Laertes and the First Player.
"Shakespeare has been the major
of my life work," he declares.
Mr. Jenks has appeared in the
east with Walter Hampden. Ethel
Barrymore, Tyrone Power. Wil
liam Faversbam and Helen
Mencken.
"I do enjoy working with stu
dent actors for they are really
much quicker to learn than actors
who have been long in the busi
ness," he says.
"The stJdents are plastic clay
with receptive minds, eager and
enthusiastic to learn. Tbey do not
have the unyielding manner oi
many older actors."
